About as transparent as the other charity operation in the same area
01. 30th March 2020
In this video they are inquiring about getting a quarantine pass and how to get the food relief, the barangay official tells them the passes and food are issued by a Barangay official and will be delivered door to door along with food relief of rice and vegetables
A subscriber buys a pig From MB PIGGERY (A Registered Sole Trader Company That is trading for PROFIT, Registered Owner is his wife) to do whatever they wish, as previous videos have been complaining about the cost of feeding the pigs and he can’t sell them during this corona
Here is this video we see the discussion on buying a new aircon and not having the 11k to purchase, asking the store for a credit facility
A discussion about distributing the pig that was purchased by a subscriber
Many comments asking how can they buy a pig, Boss Hogg replied with his private email address to guide them on how to send the money
Another video discussion about distributing the pigs, a total of 6 pigs processed today.
1 from Billy, 1 from Brian, 1 from Dennis and 2 from “Others”. 5 are for the Charity and 1 for Maricols family. (MB Piggery Income of about 60,000 pesos) Number of families to be helped is now 600.
Brian is also asking for funds to buy rice to go with the pork
A video showing the distribution of Pork to beneficiaries. The number has now changed from 600 to 500 beneficiaries. 500 kilos of pork packed but only 250 kilos arrived at to the Barangay Hall. So 500 families will only get 500g instead of 1kg each
Showing a line of poor and disadvantaged families in a line waiting for the government assistance cash ( Is this not Illegal ?)
Here we see them buying a brand new aircon and thanking a subscriber for sending them the money to buy. Comments on the video confirm this with many comments commending how generous their subscribers are, Strange they had no budget prior to the Pork Charity.
Again asking subscribers to buy a pig from MB Piggery (MB Piggery is a REGISTERED COMPANY TRADING FOR PROFIT) so it can be donated to the poor and needy. Another sales pitch to sell 11 more pigs. (137,5000 peso windfall for MB Piggery)
Also suggesting the need for donations to buy rice to go with the pork.
Showing one of their workers receiving government aid relief package
Showing money (6500 pesos) donated by subscribers to a worker of the farm, looking very nervous and uncomfortable in appearance
A video showing the purchase of rice with the intention of distributing it to the local community, 10 sacks costing 21,200 pesos, maybe 10 more tomorrow. Planning on 3 kg per family (x 550 families) Hinting that they may get sardines as well to go in the charity packs..
A video showing the purchase of 10 more sacks of rice with the intention of distributing it to the local community.
But also saying No Budget for Sardines.(15p x 2 x 550 = 16500p needed)
A video showing 5 cases of sardines with the intention of distributing it to the local community, 5 cases of Sardines (15p X 100cans case X 5 cases) 7500p
Announcing that the number of household this time will be Only 200
Another 10 cases of sardines have been donated, (Now 15 cases) Now making 350 packages? (up 150 from yesterday) 1kg Pork, 4kg Rice 4 Cans Sardines per pack. 250 for the local Barangay and 100 to go elsewhere! 10 more sacks of Rice purchased (30 total) 8 for the charity and 2 to go elsewhere. Announcement was made that all this was from donations.
